I’ve tried to play soul calibur japanese version and the game run at 50 fps.

Hi, the only thing which comes to my mind is that you could try changing the bios version. Regarding this posts: http://forums.reicast.com/index.php?topic=1536.0

there seem to be some ntsc bios flying around which are hacked pal bios files and that could cap your framerate Do you have a blue dreamcast logo on boot, if yes try to get an ntsc bios version. Maybe that will fix it. And please tell me if it worked :slight_smile:

Hi Fluffymadness,

thanks for the help. It works for me : I changed the bios and my logo is now red, it was blue before. But one question : I play reicast games on my 4/3 monitor in 1280x960 and integrer scale on, but I have black bar up and down. Is it normal ? Thanks

so 50fps cap is gone now and it has full 60fps for you ? nice :slight_smile: For the second question…I have no idea, is it on every game, any difference between pal and ntsc games? On older consoles you had different resolutions 640x480 for ntsc and 720x576 for pal…and pal had black bars.

For me that doesn’t work. I’m using US Bios (Red Logo) and soulcalibur jap run at 50 fps.

Something is wrong with the region detection in this core. Try changing the Cable type to VGA in the core options.

From my knowledge about the Dreamcast hardware the frequence is set by software (the game) and is not hardware. So it seems that there is à pb with the core.
